Tis New Music Friday and finally TEENAGE TIME KILLERS "Greatest Hits Vol. 1" has dropped!! The laundry list on this Massive-Supergroup is long and wide! No word on how a tour will go or if there will be one! I'll keep you in the loop on this!!

SAINT SONIA have dropped their self-titled debut album!! They'll also be in KC in October, at the Midland, with SEETHER!

Speaking of new stuff, I cover much that's coming in this weeks Weekly Rock Wind Up!!

This is absolutely amazing, beautiful, and utterly awesome! 1000 musicians got together in Italy and perform the FOO FIGHTERS classic "Learn to Fly"! Super stoked to see the Foo in action in August at a Sold Out show at the Sprint Center!! You can register and try to win tix HERE!!

I don't know why, but I always find it hysterical when Alex Trebek reads lyrics on Jeopardy! Here he is doing, "Girls, Girls, Girls" from MOTLEY CRUE!

And inspired by my buddy David in LA, BIG BOOBS BOUNCING!!
It'll put a smile on yo face!!

After spending over a week on family vacay with the misses and her six year old daughter I can absolutely relate to today's 4:20 Smoke Break of Stand Up Comedy from Louis CK! If you have kids, you'll understand completely what he's saying!

Somehow I missed this the other day but here's a new jam from PUSCIFER, "Grand Canyon", from the forthcoming album "Money Shot" which will drop on October 30th!

Happy Birthday to METALLICA'S "Ride the Lightning"! Released on this date in 1984! Wow, 31 years old and still kicking ass!

I absolutely love this Stand Up bit from ERIK GRIFFIN for today's 4:20 Smoke Break! Fortunately me and the fam didn't have as bad of an experience on an airplane last week while we fly out to NY! Oh man!!

So I'm trying NOT to suck today as we're getting out of town and on vacation for a week!!
Given that my B-day is tomorrow, I figured I'd find a solid 4:20 Smoke Break bit about one's day of birth!
Check out IAN EDWARDS! Funny!!

DANZIG comes to KC on Sunday (day after my birthday) at The Midland and know this much, Glenn does not like to be photographed! Proof is in the puddin'!

RALPHIE MAY comes back to town on October 1st. He'll play The Uptown. He was also today's 4:20 Smoke Break of Stand Up Comedy. Here's the full version of his "Smoking Weed with Jesus" bit!

I love the webnets for this very reason: A story out of England had me cracking up on air today. Seems a squirrel got all sorts of fit-shaced, tore about a private club busting up bottles and kicking on taps and leaving in its wake a bill of about $400 in damages!

I've been enjoying getting to know the comedic stylings of DOV DAVIDOFF! In today's 4:20 Smoke Break comedy clip he talks about his issues with condoms!!

Surprise, surprise another DAVE GROHL story!! Seems the FOO FIGHTERS frontman found out a birthday kid was in the crowd, who supposedly can play the drums. Dave invites him up but warns him he better not f*cking suck!! What follows next is every-single-Foo-fans-wetdream!!

I'm really looking forward to seeing KEVIN HART in action on August the 22nd at the Sprint Center! Here he discussing his fear of gorillas!

Word on the street is NIRVANA'S self-titled greatest hits is coming out on vinyl in standard & deluxe versions August 28th! I still say their rendition of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" aka "In the Pines" is one of their best covers and one of their best songs they've ever done!!

This story certainly falls in the, "Oh how the mighty have fallen!" Seems you can join former frontman of SKID ROW SEBASTIAN BACH'S Wedding Reception for the low-low price of only $300!! It'll happen on the 21st of August!

Back to the grind after a drunken fueled weekend. I suppose my mantra of "The day's wasted if you're not" truly came into play. I typically find me torturing myself when I get this close to my birthday! Pretty stoked I'll be spending it out of town with my two little ladies! Bear with me this week, as I'll do my best to not suck and be distracted about vacation next week!!

2 GIANT movie trailers came out over the weekend; SUICIDE SQUAD & BATMAN v SUPERMAN! I'm still saying the verdict is out on JARED LETO portraying THE JOKER! What's your take? Good move or no? And what do you think about BEN AFFLECK as THE BATMAN? Will he excel or be a dud in the same vein as GEORGE CLOONEY?

BREAKING BENJAMIN were recently on HARD DRIVE RADIO with LOU BRUTUS and did a pretty stunning rendition of TOOL'S "Prison Sex"! Peep it below!

Here's an extended clip of today's 4:20 Smoke Break of Stand Up Comedy from JOSH BLUE!

BRING ME THE HORIZON dropped a new music video yesterday for "Happy Song". I'm still in deliberation as to what I think of BMTH though I know they're extremely popular with our younger demo!
